The Question of Leadership

Now that the Sanationists have been rooted out of government, the question remains on who should be the leader of the new Polish Peasant’s Party. The most ardent and vocal supporter of the peasantry, Stanisław Mikołajczyk, currently occupies this role, however it cannot be ignored that victory in the civil war would have been impossible without the support of the Front Morges. Representing the generals in favour of a restoration of free elections in Poland, the Front Morges favor the longstanding former Prime Minister of Poland, Wincenty Witos. Though appointing Witos as party leader would appease the Front Morges, removing Mikołajczyk from the position may make many peasants who fought on the front lines for our democratic cause feel disenfranchised and betrayed by the party.
